Rhode Island Office of the Postsecondary Commissioner boosts preparedness with Jensen Hughes in 3 months

The Rhode Island Office of the Postsecondary Commissioner sought to strengthen active threat preparedness across its entire higher education community following a mass shooting. They engaged the consulting firm Jensen Hughes to develop and facilitate a coordinated statewide initiative, utilizing their security risk management and emergency management services.

Jensen Hughes developed and facilitated customized executive-level tabletop exercises for nearly all of the state's colleges and universities. This solution provided a statewide view of preparedness, identifying common strengths and challenges. The results were overwhelmingly positive: 98% of participants found the exercise very useful, 90% felt better prepared, and 100% identified improvements to pursue. Jensen Hughes helped turn the state's vision into a coordinated initiative that established a framework for continuous improvement.
